Sydney Sweeney Met Gala 2024 Could Double for Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish has revealed that her new album was almost named after a legendary quote from The Office.The singer released her third studio album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft‘ today (May 17). In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish revealed that before landing on the official title of the album – which was taken from what she misheard as the name of a Logic Pro synth – she nearly named it ‘Patheticville’ from a scene in The Office.The term is used by the character Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) in the third season of the US TV series when she and the rest of the crew from the show are making fun of a speech given by Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) at Dunder Mifflin’s “beach games.”“I thought it was patheticville.

Billie Eilish has shared a brand new feel-good video for her song ‘LUNCH’. Check it out below.The ‘Bad Guy’ singer previously previewed the track at Coachella during a secret DJ set at the festival.

Billie Eilish dropped her groundbreaking, Grammy-winning debut album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” — there was a seismic shift in pop.At just 17, she emerged as a goth-pop princess whose spooky, synthy sound was eerily prescient of the doom to come when the pandemic shut the world.And the Billie effect was felt with everyone from Olivia Rodrigo to SZA to, yes, even Taylor Swift. While Eilish broke out of the “Bad Guy” groove of her biggest hit on her second album, 2021’s “Happier Than Ever,” there was still no stopping her power.And even when she made the most anti-blockbuster ballad for last summer’s “Barbie” smash, “What Was I Made For?” went on to win both the Song of the Year Grammy and the Best Original Song Oscar — even though the single didn’t even crack the Top 10.Now 22, Eilish is hot off of accomplishing that rare Grammy-Oscar double as she releases her third LP, “Hit Me Hard and Soft” — and she continues to go against the mainstream.In fact, she chose not to release any singles leading up to the album, wanting the collection to be consumed as a “family of songs.”Forget the fact that listening to an album from start to finish in the streaming era is a pretty radical concept.And when the LP gets off to the sleepiest of starts with the dreamy “Skinny” — where Eilish displays her new thing for strings, courtesy of the Attacca Quartet — you might think you accidentally shuffled it to the end.Just like Prince rebeled against the “Purple Rain” mania with “Around the World in a Day” and Radiohead tried to shake off the “OK Computer” masses with “Kid A,” Eilish has refused to play to the basic crowd to meet any sort of commercial expectation.And yet, it still works for her.

Billie Eilish unleashed a lo-fi video for her new single “LUNCH.”

Billie Eilish has finally released her highly anticipated third album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, and the lyrics to the final track ‘Blue’ have caught the attention of fans.Find out how the lyrics of the song relate to every track on the setlist below.The album marked the long-awaited follow-up to the singer’s sophomore album ‘Happier Than Ever’, and the third LP in her discography following on from 2019’s breakthrough debut ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’.Not only does it see Eilish step into new territory with her songwriting, it also comes as a rollercoaster of emotions and appears to see the singer dealing with themes of heartbreak and isolation.It also sees Eilish take on a particularly blue theme, which is seen both through the album artwork and in the powerful and aptly-named closing track ‘Blue’.The song has been reported as being the album version of a previously unreleased Eilish song called ‘True Blue’, which the singer has frequently hinted at during her live shows and was originally meant to appear on her second album (via Capital FM).Now, following its release on ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, fans have begun looking at the intriguing lyrics in the song, and it seems that Eilish uses the track to make a nod to every other song featured on the album.In the first part of the song, for instance, Eilish includes the phrase ‘Birds of a feather’ – a nod to the title of the fourth track on the album, which is speculated to be about her past relationship with ex Jesse Rutherford.Later in the song, around the two-minute mark, ‘Blue’ changes direction and becomes more solemn, as she sings about someone who was “born bluer than a butterfly”.Before then, though, she seems to make more nods to the other songs in the

Billie Eilish, Lorde and Green Day are among the signees of an open letter calling for a bill to be passed to protect gig goers from ticket scams.Over 280 musicians have signed the letter, which encourages lawmakers to implement the Fans First Act to prevent ticketing scams and people reselling tickets at massively inflated prices.Other big-name signees include Fall Out Boy, Duran Duran, Finneas, Graham Nash, Nile Rodgers, Chappell Roan, Cyndi Lauper and Sia.“We are joining together to say that the current system is broken: predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and deprive fans of the chance to see their favorite artists at a fair price,” the letter reads.“As artists and members of the music community, we rely on touring for our livelihood, and we value music fans above all else.“We are joining together to say that the current system is broken; predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and deprive fans of the chance to see their favourite artists at a fair price.They conclude: “Predatory resellers should not be more profitable than the people dedicating their lives to their art.”The Fans First Act was was introduced by a bipartisan group of senators last December. It was referred to and remains before the committee, which would need to approve it so it can be voted on.

with Rolling Stone, Billie Eilish reveals that masturbation is one of her secret obsessions.“TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life, and a huge, huge help for me,” said Eilish, 22, whose third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” is due May 17.“People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough, as somebody with extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I’ve had my entire life.”Overcoming those body issues, Eilish has learned to love herself — au naturel — by masturbating in front of a mirror.“Partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had,” she said.
